WordPress Plugin Search Reloaded - Tweaked by StratosYesterday

TWEAK After Party (by pygment_shots)

A couple of months ago I wrote about the Search Reloaded WordPress plugin, which sorts search results by relevance rather than by date.

Recently, SDK commented and said that she would like it if Search Reloaded also searched the comments.

So, 2 weeks ago when Stratos agreed to create plugins for reasonable requests, I requested that Search Reloaded be “tweaked” so it can also search comments. And Stratos did just that. You can read about it on his website.

The plugin will search posts and comments and li

How to Exclude a Category From the Sidebar List in WordPressNovember 28

Excluded (by felinebird)

My portfolio page is created using posts and is not a static page like the About page. I did this to easily add and remove entries and so that the page didn’t become too large. It will display a set number of entries like any other blog post page.

The portfolio entries are in the category, portfolio. The code on the portfolio is set to only display that category.

I also use the Ultimate Category Excluder plugin so that the category does not display in my archives or in my rss feed. I’m hoping to spend some time on code based solution for that as well.

I realized that the Portfolio category was still showing up in the list of categories in the sidebar. I was using the Category Widget, because it’s easy, even though I’m not a big fan of widgets. The only way I could determine to

Thankful for My Friend JimNovember 27

I’m thankful for many things - my family, my health, weathering this year, and my friends. But, today being Thanksgiving and all (which I don’t really celebrate), I wanted to give a shout out to my friend Jim and his new website, Greasy Hoagies with Myles.

Jim and I met three years ago when we both worked in Technical Support for the same company. We quickly realized that we shared the same sense of humor and had many similar interests even though there is quite an age difference between us. The actual job was ok but the management was horrific - laughing with Jim made it tolerable. I used to get the 4pm giggles over something ridiculous like a customer or one of our co-workers and would actually be scolded by our manager for laughing. Yeah, sorry I’m so happy.

WordPress 2.6.5 - Security and Bug Fix ReleasedNovember 26

WM2006 Fan Fest Stuttgart - Security (by Heraklit)

Um … meh … great.

WordPress 2.6.5 has been released, which is a security upgrade.

I did not expect this at all as WordPress 2.7 is supposed to be released very soon.

And what is in this security release? Well, there is one security fix and three bug fixes.

 

The security issue is an XSS exploit discovered by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.

2.6.5 contains three other small fixes in addition to the XSS fix. The first prevents accidentally saving post meta information to a revision. The second prevents XML-RPC from fetching incorrect post types. The third adds some user ID sanitization during bulk delete requests. For a list of changed files, consult the full changeset between 2.6.3 and 2.6.5.

Got that? Good. Me neither.

Now wh
